Muhtasari	The evaluation-focused exploratory sequential mixed methods design combines program evaluation goals with a two-phase sequential structure: qualitative inquiry precedes and informs a quantitative phase. Phase 1 explores stakeholder experiences or program processes through interviews or focus groups; the findings build an instrument or framework used to measure outcomes quantitatively in Phase 2. The approach is used when little is known about a program's mechanisms, and both understanding and generalizing findings to a wider population matter.	The explanatory sequential mixed methods design is a two-phase research approach in which a quantitative study is conducted first, and qualitative data are then collected specifically to help explain or elaborate the initial quantitative results. The quantitative phase carries greater priority; the qualitative phase is purposefully built around the findings — such as surprising results, outliers, or statistically significant relationships — that need deeper interpretation.
